More Than Petticoats: Remarkable New Hampshire Women by Gail Underwood Parker (Guilford, CT: Globe Pequot Press, 2009)This book profiles the lives of 13 of New Hampshire's most important historical women (born before 1900). From the introduction:
"These thirteen women are a mosaic. White and black, Jewish and Scandinavian, rich and poor, convicted and lawyer, prodigy and late bloomer, respected and scorned, adamantly religious and anti-religion, immigrants and descendants of colonists. They are all worth meeting. Their stories should be known and told. While reading these pages, I suspect you will discover unexpected common bonds with these women. I am sure you will be captivated by their stories."
